A few missing images

=> I just took a work break in the middle of my holidays, but as I was away, we received a few feedbacks from users, and CNES PTSC teams, with Mireille’s help at CESBIO verified the data sets released on July the 16th, in quite a rush… They found out that a few scenes were missing. For some of them, it was due to the late arrival of some images (just as for planes at the airport). These images have already been added to the server.And there were a couple of bugs that mostly affected the sites made of several SPOT images (CNES and NASA sites), and ESA Chinese site. These glitches have been corrected and the reprocessing started. The whole data set will be updated before end of August, which will constitute the version 1.1 of the SPOT4(Take5) data set. Keep posted on this blog, we will update it as soon as the data are available. Meanwhile, version 1 is still accessible here, and the format described there.

Clear-sky Pléiades acquisition of the Rasuwa landslide source area

After many attempts, CNES’s Pléiades satellites finally captured a clear-sky view of the source area of the devastating flood in Nepal. The stereoscopic acquisition enables the generation of a high-resolution DEM and consequently a geometrically accurate orthorectified image. Although I’m not involved in the scientific analysis, I could not resist taking a closer look at […]

New clear-sky image of the Rasuwa rock-ice avalanche

On 08 Sep 2026, Sentinel-2 acquired a clear-sky image near the release area of the landslide which caused the catastrophic flood in Nepal. Using this image and a pre-event digital elevation model (Berthier 2026) we can analyze the upper part of the avalanche runout profile. The block of rock and ice was released near 5120 […]

How long is the cooling effect of a cloud shadow ?
